"Who are you?!"
"Stop where you are!"
"This is the mountain of the toads! A human can't enter!"
Unless the contractor, they thought, but this man definitely wasn't the contractor, and they felt an intense terror from him!
However, Shinra ignored them and just glanced at them before many of them became similar to that of a devil.
Yes, a devil.
This was the ability of Im, which he borrowed, as he had turned Im into a vampire, which gave him access to Im's ability, a cheating ability where Im could turn everyone, anyone into allies!
At that moment, as this ability fell, all of those toads that were affected quickly had a demon-like feature as they grinned cruelly toward their comrades.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Why are you looking at us like that?!"
"W-Wait, stop that invader!"
Only when a group of toads that weren't affected by Shinra's ability wanted to stop him, those toads who were affected by him quickly attacked their friends or family!
BOOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOOM!
"Gahahaha, don't you dare to stop Shinra-sama!"
"DIEEEEEE!"
"Gehehehe!"
Everyone was panicking, as their friends attacked them, but they couldn't do anything except protect themselves!
"Stop!"
"What are you doing?!"
"Wake up!"
No one knew what had happened, but they tried to wake their friends, but all of their attempts were meaningless.
Still, as the two fought, Shinra took a breath in, then frowned as the smell of toad filled the place.
Mount Myouboku.
This was the home of the toads, and the land that was sought after by many, as it had the most natural energy in the entire world. It was also the reason why many toads grew stronger than many of the others, as it resided on this island.
"Natural energy..."
When Shinra thought of this, he couldn't help but rub his chin, thinking of senjutsu, the only technique that would work on the Ootsuki, except for the power of eyes.
At the same time, it was also one of the techniques that made Naruto grow stronger and defeat the last antagonist, Kaguya Ootsuki.
"Should I wake her up?"
When he looked at the moon, he felt like it wouldn't be bad to wake her up, especially when Naruto and Sasuke from the future were here, and he was also sure that more and more Ootsuki clan members would emerge in this timeline, and whether she wanted to or not, she would be by his side, as Kaguya wasn't seen in a good light in the Ootsuki Clan.
Kaguya, despite being seen as the goddess on this planet, was just a slave, after all.
If there was a reason why she grew strong, it was because she had stolen the Chakra Fruit from her Master, but unfortunately, she couldn't kill her Master. Still, it was also due to this reason that she tried to make another Chakra Fruit even if it meant the cost of this planet's life, since sooner or later, she would be targeted by the Ootsuki Clan, as she had run away.
"STOP. WHO ARE YOU?!"
When the commotion grew larger, those toad elders quickly came forward and registered Shinra as an enemy. Still, even if he didn't do anything, all of the toads had become his allies that would protect him even at the cost of their lives.
The ability of Im was similar to a brainwash, too, and as long as a toad stood in the middle of those who were affected by this ability, they would become his slaves, too.
If Shinra had to say, it was like a game of checkers or go, where the opponents' pieces would change color when they were surrounded.
Facing such a power, what could they do?
Especially when, unlike the original Devil Fruit user, who was weak against water, Shinra had no such weakness.
If there was a way to break this ability, it was by using a powerful will to break away from his control, but unfortunately, those toads had no such abilities.
Still, while there were many powerful toads that came, including Fukusaku and Shima, who were known as the Two Great Sage Toads, they were all powerless, and Shinra still ignored them as he walked around the mountain, curiously looking at the scenery before he found the right spot and threw the seed of the Chakra Fruit, making it grow in the area.
"Stop! Stop fighting!"
Only when Shinra watched the Chakra Fruit that started to grow, a large toad, who was known as the Great Sage Toad, who had always brought a divination, came forward to stop all the mess, but those who were controlled by Shinra were like zombies.
Those controlled toads continued to stand up even if their bones were broken, and wouldn't stop even if they died!
"I BEG YOU! PLEASE STOP!"
This time, the Great Sage Toad ignored all of the attacks that he received from his descendants as he kowtowed in front of Shinra.
"Ojiji-sama!"
Everyone who wasn't controlled was dumbfounded when they saw how the Great Sage, whom they revered, would kowtow like that.
"I beg you. Please let them go. They don't know anything. They... they are my families... please..."
Shinra looked at the toad, who was more or less the same, and said, "If I am not strong enough, then I will die. Oh, probably, isn't that what you want, right? Since, according to your divination, I will bring ruin to this world."
"....." The Great Sage Toad.
"But, I don't mind stopping."
"R-Really?"
"Yes." Shinra nodded, but then he waited for a while, waiting for the Great Sage Toad to say something, but—
"That's great!"
After it said those words, it said nothing and just let itself be beaten since, as the strongest toad, the damages from the other toads weren't hurt as much.
"Leave the mountain, then."
"...." Everyone.
Shaking his head, Shinra saw that the Great Sage Toad wanted to say something, but he just disappeared. "In an hour, everything will be destroyed here. Goodbye."
"..."
To leave the Mount Myouboku, it was better to kill them!
Yet—
"Let's leave."
"Ojiji-sama!"
"At least, we can save our lives."
Yet, they knew well that, as long as they lived on this mountain, they would become small toads that were seen on the farm.
No powerful toads would be seen again, but wasn't that the same as the slugs and the snakes?
Anyway, it wasn't like the natural energy didn't exist in another place.
Still—
"...what of those who are still affected by his ability?"
Even if Shinra left, all the toads, who were controlled, hadn't regained their control, and they all attacked the rest of the toads as if ready to kill each other.
Letting out a helpless sigh, the Great Sage Toad made up a heavy decision to leave, but as it left, why did it feel like it had lost something important?
Nevertheless, when everyone looked up, they saw the moon cracked, and many powerful individuals kept coming as if the end of the world had come.
